So I just got a new 6700k and after installing I notice that I get high default voltage and high idle and under load temps.
I'm idling at 35-45C, and under load it can go as high as 80C. My last setup with the same cooler (Hyper 212 EVO) was keeping my CPU at 24-30 idle and no more than 65C under heavy load. Not sure what's going on.
Specs
MB: Asus Z170-A
CPU: I7-6700k
Cooler: Hyper 212 EVO
GPU: Nvidia GTX 970
RAM: 16GB GSKILL
PSU: Silverstone 500W
Windows 7
I've looked around and noticed other threads about the 6700k taking high voltage even at default settings. I literally have 0 idea what I'm doing when it comes to this stuff. One thing I saw was that maybe I applied too much thermal paste. I put 3 long lines on it then smeared it around gently on the cooler before putting it on the CPU. But would that cause high voltage and high temps?
Here's a pic of it just sitting idle, with the max being me just OPENING a game not even playing yet: https://i.gyazo.com/a53d8ad2c448ca906d99d8c2884b2e56.png
Could really use some help.
